safety – Are some apps at all times linked to iCloud.com through a SharedWebCredentials Library in its code?

I discovered that some apps include a Library named SharedWebCredentials which incorporates the config json information that appear to at all times allow linking to iCloud. I’m utilizing Sonoma 14.5.

These apps embrace FindMy, Household, Shortcuts, and the CoreService like AOSUIPrefPaneLauncher, iCloud, iCloud+, Protection Particulars, and so forth.

I’m questioning if these are legitimate and if that means these apps can at all times hyperlink to iCloud.com. Yet one more query is how we could assure there is no such thing as a cloud entry to these apps.

I’m a bit anxious that somebody who has entry to iCloud servers could find and acquire some management of my Mac through these apps by poisoning caches. I’ve that issues as a result of I observe further iCloud Keychain databases like xxxx-(null)-xxxxx or xxxTrustPeersxxx in my native keychain folder /Person/title/Library/Keychains/UID/. I discovered key chain gadgets of NetworkProxy that set accounts for Cloudflare, Fastly, and so forth. And my web connections get interrupted sometimes.

For instance, within the iCloud app, there are 4 information in that folder: *.iCloud.com.cn.json, *.iCloud.com.json, iCloud.com.cn.json, iCloud.com.json.

These json information are the identical, together with the app hyperlinks for appID com.apple.CloudKit.ShareBear. The json file appears like follows.

{
  "applinks": {
    "particulars": [
      {
        "appID": "com.apple.CloudKit.ShareBear",
        "components": [
            { "/": "/pages/?*" },
            { "/": "/numbers/?*" },
            { "/": "/keynote/?*" },
            { "/": "/iclouddrive/?*" },
            { "/": "/share/?*" },
            { "/": "/notes/?*" },
            { "/": "/photos/?*" },
            { "/": "/photos_sharing/?*" },
            { "/": "/reminders/template/*", "exclude": true },
            { "/": "/reminders/?*" },
            { "/": "/safari-tab-groups/?*" },
            { "/": "/freeform/?*" },
            { "/": "/v/?*" }
        ],
        "alwaysEnabled": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

The next is the json file in iCloud+/Contents/Library/SharedWebCredentials/icq.icloud.com.json

{
    "applinks": {
        "apps": [],
        "particulars": [
            {
                "appID": "0000000000.com.apple.icq",
                "components": [
                    { "?": {"context":"?*"} }
                ],
                "alwaysEnabled": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

The next are two screenshots for Shortcuts.app and the AOSUIPrefPaneLauncher.
